THE HAWK AND HOW TO USE IT
A hawk consists of 12" square (304.8 mm
square) aluminum plate with a wooden handle attached to the bottom center. The hawk is normally held by the handle in the plasterer's left hand. It is used to hold the mortar while the plasterer is applying it to the hull. The fol- lowing sequence illustrates how to hold and use a hawk. |
